    Jennie Cyr, Jerilyn Towers, and Lynn Willette - The Murders of James Hicks

    In 1982, a young single mother, Jerilyn Towers, went missing after an evening spent at a local bar. When police started to question a man named James (Jimmy) Hicks who was thought to be involved, another missing woman's case came to light... and the crimes wouldn't stop then or there.

    Lewis Lent - Jimmy Bernardo, Sarah Ann Wood, and Jamie Lusher

    In October 1990, Pittsfield, Massachusetts was a small, quiet town where everyone knew everyone, neighbors didn't lock their doors, and kids were free to bike and walk everywhere no matter the time of day. Within hours, that all changed with the disappearance of 12 year old Jimmy Bernardo. The weeks following the disappearance were heartbreaking, and when the perpetrator was finally captured 4 years later, the horrific details of his crimes and eventual plan came to light.

    The Alligator Man - Joe Ball

    In the 1930s, a man named Joe Ball ruled Elmendorf, Texas. "Joe's Place" was a hoppin' spot- not just becuase beautiful women served beer and liquor, but because there was a giant alligator pit in the back where visitors were entertained by cruel alligator shows.  Over the course of a decade, patrons noticed many attractive female employees coming and going from the tavern, with little to no explanation when they left. Was Joe a man who liked to keep the workforce fresh and new, or could something more sinister be afoot?

    Bertha Gifford - The Murderess Matron

    The early 1900s in Missouri ("Missour-a", as Kate says) was a weird time. But nothing was quite as weird as Bertha Gifford. Between 1906 and 1928, Bertha portrayed herself as a helpful nurse, when in fact, she was poisoning her patients- including at least 17 men, women and children. Nobody was safe from her "tonics", but despite her best efforts, her cruel charades would end in 1928.

    The Strange Disappearance of Brandon Swanson

    On May 13, 2008, Brandon Swanson was celebrating the end of his spring semester with friends at parties in various small towns in rural Minnesota. Shortly after leaving a house party around midnight on May 14th, Brandon's car became stuck in a ditch, and he called his parents for help. What happened over the next several hours is confusing and has led to various theories over the years, but at the end of those theories, we are still left with a missing young man 15 years later.

    Olive and Burle Bramhall

    In August 1978, Olive and Burle Bramhall were settling in for the evening in their home near Seattle when their lives were cut short by a senseless act of violence. Nearly as bad as the crime itself is the complete and utter failure of the system meant to help and protect the mentally ill.

    Starved Rock Murders - Frances Murphy, Mildred Lindquist, and Lillian Oetting

    In March of 1960, Frances, Mildred and Lillian wanted a break from the hustle and bustle of Chicago housewife life, and slipped away for a gals weekend near the Illinois State Park of Starved Rock. Within moments of arriving at their hotel, the women disappeared, never to be seen alive again. This is another case of an investigation that was less than acceptable and a conviction that may have missed the mark.
